The Maintenance Drone shows great restrictions in its capacity to run close to underwater constructions with intricate geometries. Working near metal buildings causes its advanced positioning system to become erratic, which causes dangerous collisions. When exposed to some kinds of corrosive deep-sea environments, the sophisticated manipulator arms experience complete failure, so rendering the drone useless for their intended maintenance activities. Operating in cold water environments, the power cells of the platform show surprising degradation, hence drastically lowering operational lifetime and dependability.
8. Underwater Archaeological Survey Robot
When running in waters with different turbidity levels, this specialized survey platform has serious problems in its imaging systems. When the robot’s sophisticated 3D mapping technology comes across some kinds of sediment, the results are quite distorted and accurate archeological documentation is not possible. Operating close to submerged buildings, the apparently steady hovering system of the platform becomes dangerously unstable and poses hazards to valuable archeological sites. Operating in natural electromagnetic anomalies, the data storage systems of the unit show surprising corruption.
